Community Tree Ornament Sponsor
A shared tree made possible by our community
Community Sponsorship
$25
Not ready to sponsor an entire tree? Join individuals from across our community in sponsoring a beautifully decorated tree at the WNC Festival of Trees.
The Community Tree is featured just like every other tree at the festival, but instead of having one sponsor, it is made possible through the combined support of multiple individuals. Our festival team will decorate the tree, and every Community Tree sponsor’s name will be included on the sponsor tag displayed at the event in the same format as all other sponsored trees.
This is a lower-cost way to support the scholarship fund and have your name recognized at the festival.
